Highlights
The 38-cabin Wilderness Discoverer was built in 1992 and renovated in 2011. The open-plan lounge and dining room have a relaxed atmosphere, with the beautiful cedar wood bar a great place to get a drink and socialize with other guests. There are three decks, including a sun deck, from which you can admire the stunning scenery. The small ship cruise vessel carries an impressive assortment of adventure gear, such as kayaks, skiffs, paddleboards, and hiking poles. Do you still have the energy to burn? You can make full use of the onboard fitness equipment. Alternatively, if a little R&R is more in line with your desires, there are two onboard hot tubs. You can choose between four classes of cabins, each with a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a TV/DVD player. Each cabin also has a viewing window. See and hear more underwater action with the hydrophone and underwater camera.

Fantastic Retirement trip!!❤️
I am not a cruise person. However, I wanted to see Alaska, but not like everyone else. I am not a shopper, nor am I a gambler. I am a person who loves being outside and being with nature. Choosing Uncruise was the best decision I could have ever made for me. I kayaked, I went bush whacking, got up close to several glaciers, and saw an abundance of wildlife. The staff was very knowledgeable about the wilderness. I am SO glad I was on their boat. Such nice people! My husband and I will talk about this trip for a very long time. I highly recommend Uncruie to anyone who is just like me.

- The crew and staff, all of them, were amazing! They were very friendly and very attentive.. The experiences that we were offered to do every day where beyond my dreams!. I enjoyed how the crew kept us informed when there was something to see outside or the northern lights were shining..

A week in misty wet paradise
Loved being on the last trip of the season - had lots of alterations to the itinerary that made the trip even more enjoyable. Positively great to see LeConte glacier and to kayak in "God's Pocket". Certainly a trip of a lifetime. Thanks for the great memories.

The Wilderness Discoverer takes you to the heart of coastal Alaska.
We loved the get out and enjoy spirit of the cruise and the support of the crew who made it possible in a safe way. It was great to have levels of physical challenges offered. All the accommodation niceties were there but in a way that encouraged moderation. It’s hard to pick one highlight out of an exceptional week. The kayak tours, glacier, whales, and ecomeander are now great memories. Thank you!
